Yes, Ray Stevens also did 'Along came Jones', never heard 'Bridget the Midget' though.It got some air time on the radio, She's the star of the show at some nightclub and when he sang Bridgets part, it sounded like he had inhaled helium to make his voice tiny. It's a cute song. Who sang Bertha Butt?

Since "Bridget the Midget" and "Dead Skunk" are from the 70s, I took David Seville's "Witch Doctor"

"Bertha Butt Boogie" and "Troglodytes" are by the Jimmy Castor Bunch and also from the 70s.

Were this a 70s thread, my vote would go to "Troglodytes."

I know I didn't check my dates, in fact I think I just got caught up in thinking of wacky songs and forgot what decade I was in. I am not sure how wacky this one is, but I had a 45rpm cut of Amos Moses. poor kid was abused by his parents. used him as alligator bait but he grew up tough.

I can see you're a fellow 70s man. Jerry Reed novelty songs are all good. In fact, he's a better than average actor, too.

My favorite wacky song of all time is one from the 1940s or 50s called "Feudin'A-Fussin' and A-Fightin'". I'd give my eye teeth for the words and Lord knows what I'd do for an actual recording. The only verse I remember is Gramma poor ole GrammaWhy'd they have to shoot Poor ole Gramma?She lies 'neath the clover.Someone caught her bendin' over,Pickin' up a daisy.
